France has accused Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, IRGC, of \u200b\u200bbeing behind cyberattacks that raised temperatures in supermarket fridges and freezers across the country last month.<\/p>\n
Foreign Minister Jean-No\u00ebl Barrot said the attack was \u201cunprecedented in both scale and level of aggression\u201d, adding that those responsible would be hit with sanctions.<\/p>\n
The French hacker attack, which led to the destruction of tons of frozen and chilled food in France, was followed by a similar attack against supermarkets in several other European countries.<\/p>\n
Barrot said the attack on France's supermarkets \u201cmarks the first large-scale cyber attack aimed at sabotage on our national territory and constitutes a major attack on the interests of the nation and the security of the French people\u201d.<\/p>\n
He said the government had summoned the Iranian ambassador in Paris to \u201cpresent a very strong protest against this extremely serious act\u201d.<\/p>\n
France will take \u201cany other necessary and proportionate measure\u201d to respond to the incident and \u201cto deter anyone who might seek to repeat it,\u201d Barrot added.<\/p>\n
The Paris prosecutor said an investigation had been opened against the head of a cyber attack unit linked to the IRGC, as well as two of his deputies.<\/p>\n
Laure Beccuau named the unit Shahid Kaveh, which she said was linked to the IRGC's electronic and cyber center.<\/p>\n
Shahid Kaveh is the name given to a group of hackers believed to be directly employed by the Iranian regime.<\/p>\n
In recent weeks, a number of commentators and politicians in Iran have argued that the country should extend any retaliation beyond the Middle East if the US and Israel resume the war they began earlier this year.<\/p>\n
If the IRGC carried out the cyber attacks, it remains unclear whether they were part of Iran's deterrence strategy.<\/p>\n
On October 11, hackers took control of the software that regulates the temperatures of refrigeration units used in many supermarkets in France.<\/p>\n
More than 100 Coop\u00e9rative U supermarkets were hit, as were 180 stores from Intermarche and its Netto brand. In some stores, fridge temperatures reportedly rose to 50C overnight.<\/p>\n
Other major food retailers, including Carrefour, Monoprix and E.Leclerc, were also hit by the attack, which targeted software provided by Danish engineering firm Danfoss.<\/p>\n
Earlier this month there was a second wave of cyber attacks, hitting more than 100 stores across Europe.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
